The Meinl B22HHR-B Byzance Heavy Hammered Brilliant Ride 22" is an extremely dry and loud ride cymbal made from B20 bronze with a brilliant finish and a clear, structured sound profile. Due to its high weight and the elaborate brilliant finish, it is ideal for all music styles in which a dry, assertive ride cymbal with a linear sound rich in overtones is required. The production by hand in renowned Turkish cymbal factories and the high-end refinement in the German Meinl plant guarantee professional sound characteristics and longevity.
A thick, heavy profile and a sound image perfected in several work steps are the characteristics of the Meinl Byzance Heavy Hammered Brilliant series. The drum cymbals are characterized by the fat, dry and linear sound, which is ideal for pop and rock music with many overtones and the cold basic sound. This sound is often demanded in the studio, because clear signals and a clearly separated cymbal sound are preferred here. The shimmering appearance enhances the appearance of every drum set and adds a noble touch to the set-up.
The Byzance cymbals are manufactured according to old handicraft tradition in Turkey, where they get their form by hammering in manual work. In Gutenstetten, Germany, the precious B20 bronze sheets are then finished with the Byzance Brilliant finish using the latest technology. With this combination of tradition and high-tech, the Byzance cymbals have secured a firm place in all styles of the world.
